Detailed explanation-1: -In the last of the Piagetian stages, a child becomes able to reason not only about tangible objects and events, but also about hypothetical or abstract ones. Hence it has the name formal operational stage-the period when the individual can “operate” on “forms” or representations.

Detailed explanation-2: -The formal operational stage (12+ years) In this final stage of cognitive development, children learn more sophisticated rules of logic. They then use these rules to understand how abstract concepts work and to solve problems.
